I was on a webinar late last week, talking about publishing on Amazon. It was interesting, but a lot of information. I was also working on a crochet project a friend paid me to do. Then I had to go to a financial planner to get something set up for the 401k from my last […]

We have two dogs. One of them is little and mouthy. You can tell her something and it’ll seem like she’s talking back to you. One day I’ll have to record her and post it for the giggles. Anyway, it often seems like she is the dumb one of our dogs. She does odd things […]

I like how Judd and his team investigate corporations, their political donations, their corporate messaging and comparing it to everything reported in SEC filings. For example, corporations promised not to donate to […]

On Friday I decided to start doing some real WordPress training instead of just the dabbling that I’ve done over the years since I started this blog. I’m kinda excited. I haven’t done any major programming since I left my web design/programmer job in 2003. My plan is to start freelancing so I can work […]
